Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 138

Genevieve listened to the servant’s words and didn’t dwell on them too much.

After all, this was Louis‘ territory, and it wouldn’t be polite to pry into his privacy.

She stood up decisively. “All right, let’s go back.”

In the following days, whether by the upstairs window or in the garden downstairs, she could see a pink Maserati parked at the gate, attempting to enter but never succeeding.

Louis‘ medical team came to consult with her daily without fail, adjusting treatment plans and medications as needed.

Though Louis was busy, he still found a few hours a day to talk to her.

Genevieve could feel her body gradually improving.

However, Genevieve started to feel bored, but her phone was lost, and there was no landline to contact her family in the room.

She searched around but couldn’t find a phone.

The study was a place that observed a great deal of privacy. Hence, she didn’t feel comfortable entering without permission.

She went downstairs to find the servant. “Can I borrow your phone?” she asked.

The servant hesitated slightly, then shook her head. “Mrs. Fallon, we’re prohibited from using phones during work.”

Genevieve furrowed her brows slightly. “But there’s no landline at home. How do we contact people outside?”

The servant chuckled uneasily in response. “Mrs. Fallon, the landline was removed because someone installed a bug, stealing trade secrets. Please refrain from contacting outsiders for now. I heard Mr. Fallon has been having trouble at the office recently. He can’t afford any distractions.”

Genevieve fell silent for a few seconds. She then smiled before returning to her room.

It took her a few days to realize that she felt isolated from the outside world.

At night, when Louis returned, his demeanor was cold and distant, quite different from when he was with her.

When he turned to his study, Genevieve suddenly stepped out of the room. “Louis…”

Louis paused in his tracks, the chill fading from his gaze as he turned to look at her gently. “You’re still awake?”

Genevieve pursed her lips’as she walked toward him. “Can I borrow your phone? I want to call my

mom.”
